C ,+ LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1836. An admirable summary of the important events that took place at San Ildefonso and in Madrid, from the 32th to the 19th inst., will be found in another part of The Sun, copied from the correspondence of a Minis terial Morning Contemporary. The whole will be read, as it deserves to be, with the deepest interest. We will not, therefore, weaken its effect by recapitula tion. If proper allowance be made for the ignorance of the soldiery—their recollection of the treachery of which they had so often been made the victims—the just cause which their Constitutional leaders had to be apprehensive for their lives had their project not suc ceeded—and the jealousy which must have been awakened in the minds of the Guards, by the seeming reluctance of the Officers and Grandees to join them in urging the QUEEN to accept the Constitution—w e believe it will be universally allowed that their whole conduct was that of men, whose sole aim was the de liverance of their country from oppression. Towards the QUEEN REGENT their behaviour was much more respectable than we were prepared to expect from men of their grade, under such trying and exciting circumstances. It would be as ridiculous to expect from them an ad herence to forms of etiquette, as it would be absurd in a Sovereign to attempt to exact it on such an occa sion'; and it is, therefore, with pleasure we observe that the QUEEN REGENT had the good sense, as well as the presence of mind, to hear them patiently, and to treat them with frank sincerity. The death of General QUESADA will certainly surprise no person, who pays due regard to the extent to which he ren dered himself odious to the people of Madrid, by his tyrannical proceedings as Military Governor. We are well aware that nothing can excuse the barbarous mu tilation of the dead body by the populace ; but even here, they only imitate those cruelties with which most Governments are too apt to make their subjects familiar. There is less barbarity in the mutilation of a dead body by an enraged mob, insanely unconscious' of its own acts at the instant of their perpetration, than there is in spiking the head of a traitor—suspending in air the bones of a mur d erer — or i n quartering ac:cer deatn—examples so often had recourse to, even w i thin ord. own recollection, by the most humanP.: executi ve governments i n E uro p e . Th e most Barba rous mo b s have been mobs of kings and sovereign rulers exer cising a co-equ a l j ur i s di ct i on with kings. Te position of Spain is very critical. All now depends upon the firmness and consistency of the QUEEN REGENT. If she suffer herself to be led aside by the Camarilla to declare that her sanction of the ConsritutioA was viol en tl y extorte d f rom her, and therefore that she .recalls it, now that she is free, Spain is lost both t o herself and to her daughter. She is now at the head of the Constitutionalists ; let tier remain there, and she is safe. There is not one ot th e m who at the present instant meditates h er rtymoval from the Regen c y. The patriots ar e not Unmindful of what they owe to h i y will prov e that et ; an d the their gratitude i s equal to the vividness of their recol lections if her MAJESTX lnrll only confid e in them. They know w e ll th at tq he r they owe the p roclamation of the Constitution, in 1820 under FERDIN nor AND, are they less certain that th e i r subsequent misfortunes may be traced to her declining influence over the mind of an imbecile superstitious Sovereign. The QUEEN h as therefore everything to hope and nothing EN to - fear from the ascendancy of the Constitutional party. Her greatest and most dangerous enemies are those who will persuade her to break faith wif:d the people—a class of advisers less numerous ti:lan it would have been, had M. DE RAYNEVAY, survived his last fatal illness. We are sorry to learn that Mr. VILLIERS considers I , r t h h r i . Rdety to k eep aloof on this momentous occasion. QUEEN has need of his steady support at a time , Waen her Ministers appear so incapable of directing her. Be s id es, the people of Spain, in their struggle to obtai n lib eral institutions, have a right to expect that the sympathy of the British Ambassador will be extended to efforts so creditable to their patriotism and their humanity as those which marked the pro clamation of the Constitution of Cadiz in the capital. Th .ose trusty and vvell-beloved servants of his MA JESTY the Inspectors Of Prisons, and the Worship ful the Court of Aldermen, are very far from being W unanimous in opinion respe c ti ng the efficien cy o e f th bee management of the gaol of Newgate. It is, lieve, well known to the public, that the Inspectors of Prisons for the home district, prepared a report which was submitted to Parliament, detailing abuses in the classification, confinement, and general condition of individuals committed to that prison ; and imputing to the city magistrates, to whom the management of • the prison is entrusted by the Legislature, a culpable supineness with respect to the removal of such abuses. It is equally well known that the statements put forth in this report gave great offence to their worships of • the city, and that a committee was appointed by the Court of .Aldermen to re-examine the witnesses pre viously examined by the Inspectors. with a view to the publication of a Report exculpatory of their Own con duct. At first it was intimatziti ttl the Inspectors that notice would be given theta t the sittings of the Com mittee, in order that they might be present during the re-examination of the principal witnesses, but on re flection it appears that the members thought it would comport more with their dignity to conduct the inquiry' alone. A counter report was, however, produced, which soon found its way to the table of the House of Commons. In this report the worshipful city Magis trates very handsomely acquit themselves of all blame ; for though they admit the truth of most of the allega tions of the Inspectors, they atm that these evils cannot be remedied. A copy of this report of the Court of Aldermen having been submitted to the Inspectors of Prisons by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, they have replied to it in a very able letter, which is printed with the Parliamentary Papers of the late Session. We have read over this letter, and the two Reports to which it refers, very care fully, and, though we have no wish to mix ourselves up with disputes, it is our duty to declare that we think the Court of Alderman cut but a very sorry figure throughout the entire transaction. The only result which has attended their labours is the making of some four or five gentlemen, examined as witnesses, prevari cate so much as to make their testimony for the time to come of very little consequence upon any subject. With respect to the Aldermanic report and its multi farious admissions, the Inspectors have the, folloiiing passage in their letter to Lord John Russell : They admit that the Rules for the better government of Newgate, dated 2d June 1817, and those of the Act 4th Geo. 4., c. 64, with regard to the classification of prisoners have not been observed in Newgate. They admit that prisoners convicted of assaults of an abomi nable nature have not been kept apart from other prisoners : They admit that convicted prisoners, sentenced to transpor tation, have been appointed wa.rdsmen and wardswomen, and retained in Nenate, instead of being sent away, to undergo the sentence of the court : They admit that by permission, prisoners have received what is tech:licitly called " garnish" from each other, contrary to the directions of the Gaol Act: They admit that cards, cribbage-boards, and draught-boards were found in the gaol by the Inspectors. They admit that tobacco-pipes and tobacco were found in the wards by the Inspectors : They admit that a daily newspaper was taken in by the pri soners ; and that Sunday papers, though prohibited, may have been admitted; but if so, that they were a portion of the edition published on the Saturday afternoon : They admit that certain instruments, alluded to in the Re port of the Inspectors as being " all of them instruments cal culated to facilitate attempts at breaking out of prison," were found in one of the wards : They admit that among the books found by the Inspectors in their progress through the prison, was " The Generative System of John Robertson :" They admit that prisoners were permitted to draw briefs for their fellow-prisoners, both male and female : They admit that among the visitors, persons of notoriously bad character have been, no doubt, sometimes admitted : They admit that the regulation for the admission of beer into the prison may have been abused : They admit that drunkenness has occurred amongst the pri soners : They admit that the bedding is of the description stated in the Report of the Inspectors : They admit that there were devices cut on many of the tables, which may have served the purpose of gaming : They admit that the washing-places are in the open air, and are objectionable : They admit that prisoners sentenced to death are all asso ciated together, in that part of the prison, called " The Con . demned Cells :" They admit that the shop, at the entrance to the female side, ought to be discontinued : They admit that female prisoners have been employed in the keeper's house ; and they are decidedly of opinion that the practice ought not, upon any account, to be repeated : They admit that the supply of soap is scarcely sufficient ; and that, until recently, combs and towels have not been pro vided : They admit that there is a part of the prison secured by one set of rails only, which is capable of considerable improve ment, by adopting such precautions as are calculated to pre vent any evils that might arise from the visitors coming too near to the prisoners : They admit that there have been some instances in which Mr. Cope, the keeper of the prison, appears to have permitted deviations from the rules of the Gaol Act, where those rules might have been observed : They admit that officer; have been employed in acts of ser vitude for Mr. Cope, the keeper of the prison, which should for the future be strictly prohibited. We respectfully submit to your Lordship that these admis sions (however it may be attempted to palliate the evils which they acknowledge by excuses and explanations, upon which it will be our duty to animadvert) fully bear out the statements which we have made respecting the condition and government of the Gaol of Newgate in our first Report. One of ' the reasons assigned by the Cour' o f Alderman for the non-observance of certal a 14 ,-,m_ sions in the Gaol Act, is not a little remarkable, Their Worships state that the construction of tl .,e prison it. self never did and never can admit p‘ —as, for example, the keen: . keen: their criminals to h ar d out to the Legisl a t ure ' - their obser vance ' labour, and the lik e . : Wh 'refore w as not t hi s po i nte d when the Act w as b e f ore i t ? then ignorant Will it be prete r,- .4ed th at the City Magistracy we re l ifoth of th e prov i sions of the proposed law and of 4. .tre construction of the prison of w hi c h t h ey wee t/- ..1e sole managers ? I t is more with a v i ew to r i ni''.xce the country acquainted with the real state of the prisons of the Metropolis, than to cast unnecessary blame upon the City Magistracy, that we quote the following passage from the Inspectors' letter : The Report goes on to say, " We feel it our duty explicitly to state, that the evils adverted to in the Report of the Inspec. tors, are for the most part to be traced to the construction of the prison," &c. . Is it owing to the construction of the prison that prisoners have been allowed to levy contributions on their fellow pri soners, under the name of " ward dues" b ud " garnish ?" That cards and other implements of gaming have been found, toge ther with tobacco-pipes and to )- ,acco ? That daily and Sunday newspapers have been fre'ely admitted ? That disgusting and improper books have ,seen introduced ? That prisoners have male a been p nd fitted ' t o draw b r i e f s f or t h e i r fellow prisoners, both riousl male ? Th at among the visitors, persons of note y tad ch aracter h ave been permitted to come in? That the 'deer has been introduced in such an irregular manner that cases of drunkenness have occurred? That the beddinc , and mode of sleeping is such as we have described ? That female prisoners have been employed in the Governor's house ? That the keeper has permitted deviations from the rules of the Gaol Act, where those rules might have been observed ; and that officers have been employed by him in acts of domistie servi tude ? Finally, is it owing to the construction of the prison that male and female prisoners have the means of seeing; con versing and holding intercourse with each other, by the em ployment of male prisoners as coal -porters, workmen and whitewashers, within the females' prison ? We admit, however, that the construction of the prison is lamentably bad ; but why has it been, to this day, permitted to remain so ? Why, we solemnly ask, after the repeated de scriptions of this metropolitan prison, in Parliamentary Reports and various other documents, has it been allowed to remain a discredit to all connected with it ? Why, when the magis tracy of the surrounding counties of Middlesex, Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Essex have been setting them such noble examples of liberality in the re-building and improvement of their re spective prisons, why have those to whom is committed the jurisdiction of this great metropolitan prison, been satisfied with permitting it to continue an example of all those imperfections from w h ich the prisons in the surrounding counties have been, in a great measure most happily deli vere d ? how can they whose important duty it is to look to the wholesome discipline and well-being of the multitudes of unhappy creatures who aannndu_ally are committ e d to the gaol of Ncwgate, sit quietly by look on the vast improvements which are making around them, with a supineness stron,gly contrasted with the enlight oeonnesdpzioenaol,naanidn th emagistratespraiseworthy d e o v f o t t h i (r e o o n f n t t i i m e s e a a r n o d un t d a l t e h n e t s , me tropolisso and throughout the kingdom ! Newgatc is no Worse than any of the other prisons of London. Indeed some of them are much more ob jectionably managed. The f act i s, that the state of prison discipline in this country is altogether deplorably are intended by soci bad, and inefficient for ety. purpose for which prisons every Two of our Morning Contemporaries, the Advertiser and the Times, devote a portion of th e i r columns of this day to appeals t 9 the charitably di s p ose d people of Engl an d_i n f avour o f the distressed Polish Refugees.

IC.l— n appeA.l. understand, is about to be Made to the !mblii: on behalf of the Polish refugees now ill the tountry. W e are sure t h at that appeal will meet with a cordial response in the bosom of every humane Engli s h man. It i s not only made on behalf, of a class of persons whose virtues and heroism have alwa)s commanded the admiration of the people of this country, but it is made under Very peculiar circum stances, It appears that on the 10th of the prescnt month, the House of Commons unanimously voted, as it had done last year, the sum of 10,0001. for the re. lief of the Polish refugees now in this country: It farth e r app ears t h at since last year about 100 addi. tional refugees hare landed on our shores, making in all nearly 560. Mr. Spring Rice, however, refused to extend any ielief to the refugees who have sought an asylum among us since last year. He will only give relief to the same persons as formerly. The sur plus of the sum he means to economise. The ground on which Government have come to this determination is, that if the additional refugees were to be relieved, it would be holding out a temptation to others to follow their example. and come in crowds to our shores. In this we think Government are in error. The Po lish refugees do not come here from choice. It is only when they are forced to it—as was the case with these 100 refugees—that they seek an asylum amo n g U 3. These poor men were sent out of Prussia and trance, some of.,them for the most deuces, and - some of them for no offences at all ; and they were compelled to come here, because there was no other place to which they could go. The parsimony of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in regard to the Polish refugees, we therefore look on as based on an erroneous notion. For that, however, there is now no remedy. He has no means now of changing his mind to any bene ficial purpose, and, therefore, there is lid Other alter native for these unfortunate staving refugees, but - to throw themselves on the tiympathy and liberality of the British nation. We are sure the confidtnee they repose in us will not be misplaced. The people of England will never allow any class of persons to perish of want among them • far less w ill pay allow th os 4 men to en counter the horrors of'starraiiiiii,:Aose di4resses have been solely brought on them by Their noble resistance to a tyrant who sought—and, unhappily, has succeeded in his designs --to wrest from them their liberties, and degrade and trample their country in the dust. In a few days we are confident these 100 Polish refugees will be rescued from the horrors of their present situa tion by the benevolence and liberality of the British public. Since writing the above, it has been reported to us, upon competent authority, that something ap proaching to a well-understood league has been entered into between the despotic powers, not excluding Louis Philippe, for the extradition of the Poles from the respective countries over which they hold, we hope, only temporary command. Need we add a word more to enlist the sympathies of every liberal Englishman in their behalf ? The following is the resolution of the .‘ Literary Association of the friends of Poland," at their meeting on the 24th instant : " At a mooing of the Council of the Literary Associa tion of the friends of Poland, specially convened the 24th of August, 1836, to devise the best means of relieving the Poles lately driven from Cracow and other places on the Continent, who are now in this country in a most deplorable state of destitution, the Government having refused them any participation in the grant voted by the House of Commons on the 10th inst., for the relief ofthe Polish refugees ; Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., Vice-President, in the chair ; it was resolved that an immediate appeal be made to the public on behalf of these, our starving fellow -creatures. Subscrip tions received at the Chambers of the Association, No. 10, Duke -street, St. James's ; and at Messrs. Coutts and Co's, Strand ; Cox, Biddulph and Co's, Charing-cross ; Smith, Payne,,andSmith's, King William -street, Mansion House ; and Messrs. Prescot and Grote's, No. 62 Threadneedle street." , We have received the whole of the French Papers of Wednesday. The Montieur contains the following significant correction of General LEBEAU'S Proclama tion on assuming the command of the Foreign Les o ion : " Several journals have published an Order of the Day of General Lebeau, dated Pampeluna, the 13th inst., in which he announces to the troops under his command that he has been named by the king of the French to the command of the Legion in the service of the Queen of Spain. This is an error we arc bound to rectify. General Lebeau has been au thorised by the King to pass into the service of the Queen of Spain, but the King has had no share in the nomination of that general officer to this command." It will be easily inferred, from this Ministeral cor rection of a Ministerial error, that the KING and M. TRIERS are not yet agreed on the subject of Spanish interventions, Disunion still prevails in the Cabinet. The r-resident of the Council is not to he driven from nis position with respect to Spain, after witnessing the fulfilment of all his predictions. He, therefore, continues as :much in favour of intervention now, as at the commencement of the war in the Basques ; but whether he hopes thereby to put down or establish the Constitution, we are not idol med. If his object be to defeat the ends of the Constitutionalists, by the presence of a French army in the Peninsula, we take leave to say that France has suffered the proper time for such a movement to pass awar. It is decidedly too late to declare against the Constitution, without accom panying such declaration with a recognition of the legitimacy of Don CARLOS as the lawful heir to the Spanish Throne. The Courrier Francais observes that a rumour was prevalent in Paris of the appointment of General GUILLEMINOT as the successor of M. DE RAYNE- VAL at Madrid. This report was not credited by that journal, as the General had formerly fought against the Constitutionalists as Major-General of the invad ing army, under the Duke of AN9ouLEmE ; and therefore it appeared highly improbable that the French Government would send him to Spain, now that the Constitutionalists are triumphant. PARIS, Auo. 23. —The Journal du Commerce has the fol lowing article, under the title of " Reports of the Salons":-- " M. Moll has been to Villiers St. Paul to pay a visit to Marshal Gerard. It is affirmed that these two personages seriously contemplate a negociation to bring together some men, who are still in an ill humour with each other, but whom their devotedness to the public service calls to make,part of a new Cabinet. It is affirmed that the name of M. Beranger had been approved to second M. Sauzet in the Department of Justice, and that this Counsellor had addressed a very re markable letter to his Majesty on the prisons and prisoners, and on some acts contrary to the freedom of religious worship." A letter from Toulon of Aug. 18 says : " Since the Expedition to Constantino has been talked of we see detachments of troops arrive successively, which are destined to reinforce the army of Africa. We know that others are on their march. " About 150 artillerymen are cantoned at 011inulles. some companies of engineers are expected, which are to be sta tioned at La Vallctte; 600 men of the 17th Regiment of Light Infantry will arrive in a few days at La Seync, Where they will wait for vessels to convey them to Africa. If the battalion of Africa, now in garrison in Corsica, returns to Africa, the army of occupation will be at once reinforced by 2,000 met, in the room of those who go to Spain.

DARING Stmr.o Itonnnity.— William Pendergrast, Jane 14 7 4.0att, and Etitabeth lienfey, all of them apparently past Ali years of age, .were brought haat Mr. Alderman litmrittatiV, who sat for the Lord Mayor, charged with the following robbery :—lt appeared that while Mrs. Spinks, an aged lady, the wife of Mr. Spinks a pawnbroker, living in Fenchurch-street, was walking along Aldgate, near Jewry street, about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, she was surrounded by the two female prisoners and three men, who managed to pull up her clothes, and extract from her pocket a purse con taining three sovereigns and 1/. Gs. 10d. in silver. Two of the men escaped, but Pendergrast and the two women were captured in St. Mary- Axe. The money was found upon the female prisoner. Pendergrast swore he knew nothing whatever of the robbery or the women, but the officer said he was well known. Mr. Alderman liummEitr thought he should not be doing justice to the public if he allowed them to escape. The prisoners were Lherefore committed for trial. BOW-STREET. A boy, not more than 9 years of age, was brought in cus tody of Davis, the gaoler, charged with having in his posses sion eight quires of an unstamped newspaper, called the Weekly Times. Davis was going through the Strand early in the morning, when he saw the boy with a large parcel on his head ; he had had him in custody before for carrying out unstamped papers, and suspected the parcel contained more. He seized it, and on inspection its contents turned out as above. The boy said he was ordered to carry these parcels, and though he knew that it was wrong, he was obliged to do it. Sir F. ROE said he must be prevented from carrying out any more of such trash until after the 15th of September, at all events, and committed him accordingly for a fortnight. U itwon was charged with carrying a parcel containing three quires of the Weekly Herald. He said he carried a board. While waiting in the street this morning, a person asked him if he wanted a Job ? Having a wife and family to support, he was glad of one ; but he knew nothing of the contents of the parcel. As he was not known, he was discharged with a caution. The papers were detained. MRS. GRAHAM. We regret to state that the intelligence received in town yesterday* from Doddinghurst, respecting the above unfortunate lady, was anything but favourable. After Mr. Graham's departure for town on Tuesday night, symptoms of rather an unfavourable nature manifested themselves, on which the medical gentleman considered it necessary she should undergo an operation ; but not wishing to perform it without Mr. Graham's concurrence, it was delayed as long as possible. On Wednesday noon, the symptoms in creasing, Mr. Amor, the proprietor of the farm where Mrs. Graham is lying, came on horseback to town to fetch Mr. Graham, whom he found at his residence in Poland-street. They immediately started in a postchaise to Doddinghurst, where they arrived about six o'clock, and within two hours afterwards the unfortunate lady was delivered of a still born male child. During the night, she remained in an ex tremely precarious state, and previously to Mr. Graham leaving yesterday a consultation of the medical gentlemen of the neighbourhood was held, the result of which was their unanimous opinion that should not a favourable change take place by this day, it will be impossible for her to re cover. The balloon, which was found in a bye road about 30 miles from Doddinghurst, and consequently upwards of 50 miles from where the ascent took place, arrived in town last night. Although much damaged, Mr. Graham hopes to be able to make an ascent with it from Cheltenham, should not the state of his lady prevent him. The cloak, hat, cap, unbrella, and telescope belonging to the Duke of Brunswick, were found safe in the car. During yesterday, the solicitude respecting the fate of this unfortunate lady, so largely evinced on the previous days, appeared to he undiminished, hundreds of anxious in quiries having been at his residence, in Poland -street, by persons of all classes.

The Dissenters of Lyme-Regis are very dissatisfied that no redress of their grievances has been afforded them during the past Session of Parliament.—Sherborne Journal. POOR LAW.—The Kent Herald, whose unceasing attacks on the . Poor Law Amendment Act is remarkable, gives the following tale of woe to illustrate the grievance of refusing to grant out-door relief :--" The widow of a post boy well known on the Dover road, who died about eighteen months since, was compelled to take refuge, about six months ago, in the workhouse of the Milton Union. During this pe riod she has repeatedly applied to leave the house, with her children, if the parish would allow the veriest trifle towards their support. This was refused. She then applied for per mission to leave the house herself. This was refused, and she was thus detained as a prisoner.. She has not been allowed to have an interview with her children since her admittance to the workhouse 1 All this had such an effect on the poor crea ture's mind, that sbe has lost all natural feeling, and become hardened and despairing."

His Majesty, who appeared to be in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits, was received with enthusiasm. In the eight carriages which composed the remaining part of the Royal cortege were the Duke of Dorset, Marquis Conyngham, Earl of Albemarle, Lord Winchelsea, Lord and Lady Frederick Fitzclarence, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord and Lady Falkland, Lord and Lady Wharncliffe, the Marchioness Dowager of Corn wallis and daughters, Lady and Miss Wheatley, Lord and Lady De Lisle, Hon.

Taylor, Mr. Shiffner, Mr. Davis, &c. The police arrangements at the Royal tents were placed in the same able hands (Messrs. Gardner, Leadbittcr, and Capes) as on Tuesday. The weather was delightful, and the assemblage equal, if not superior, in fashion and number to any we have seen on Runnymede for many years ; a list of the principal visitors would only be a repetition of that which formed part of Tues day's proceedings. The engagements comprehended in the list produced the following results : The Sunning Hill Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 25 added (handi cap), for three yrs old and upwards.

Robinson's jockeyship in giving it the appearance of a race in order to gratify the spectators was inimitable. The Stewards appointed for next year are his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, Lord Ashbrook, Lord Francis Gordon, and Colonel Salway. Immediately after the Egham Stakes Monsieur Adolphe Pourrat was permitted to exhibit before his Majesty his in vention for detaching runaway horses from gigs. The first two attempts were made at a walking pace and succeeded per fectly, but the third, at a canter, partially failed through acci dent or mismanagement of the reins. The invention is cre ditable to the ingenuity of M. Pourratt. ST.

TOWER REGATTA.—The contest for a wherry and other prizes, given by the Officers at the Tower, and the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Hamlets, was decided yesterday, but had commenced on Monday. The terms of the wager were six pairs of sculls, five heats ; arid to witness the last the attend ance was very great and highly respectable. There were but two entitled to row in the grand heat (Walliner and Crouch). They went off clean, and it was thought throughout a good race; but Walliner got the lead, and kept it, winning by a dozen lengths. Elliss was not used fairly, and it is out of the usual order of things to find the manager of a wager rowing for the prize. THE CUTTER MATCH BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW DIANA. —The expected match between these boats is not likely to come off, in consequence of the New Diana having neglected to make good their second deposit. The Old Diana Company have given them two or three days, and are unwilling to take the forfeit while there is the least possibility of bringing the match about. Betting is good; 6t04 on the new boat, - SIR CHRISTOPHER COLE, K C•B- (FROM OUR OWN connEsroNntNT.) Swansea, Ang. 24, 1836..
